Over the past six months, Netcapital has pursued a shift toward tokenization, AI-driven design, and broader digital-asset capabilities while reporting small revenues and sizable losses. Key steps included acquiring Iverson Design on Jan 6, 2026, signing PureWave Hydrogen for tokenization on Jan 12, 2026, and expanding crypto/blockchain ambitions in the Dec 15, 2025 update. Financial results on Dec 15, 2025 and Mar 19, 2026 highlighted declining revenue and continued losses. The Apr 16, 2026 CEO change and today’s platform strategy update fit this ongoing repositioning.

AI-generated analysis. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
Boston, MA, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Netcapital Inc. (Nasdaq: NCPL, NCPLW) (“Netcapital” or the “Company”), a publicly traded fintech company that gives companies access to capital markets infrastructure without institutional scale fees, today announced its strategic focus on enhancing the Netcapital platform into a more full-service capital formation solution for emerging growth companies.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Todd Violette, Netcapital plans to build on its existing SEC-registered funding portal and FINRA member broker-dealer capabilities by expanding the services and tools that support issuers throughout the capital raising process. The goal is to provide issuers with a more integrated experience that combines regulatory-compliant technology, marketing support, investor analytics, and advisory services into a single, turnkey engagement.
“Netcapital has already built a differentiated platform at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and private capital formation,” said Todd Violette, Chief Executive Officer of Netcapital. “Our focus now is to deepen that platform so that growth-stage companies can work with a single partner that understands capital markets, provides the necessary infrastructure, and supports them through the full capital raising process.”
Rather than operating solely as a listing marketplace, Netcapital plans to emphasize a model in which issuers maintain ownership of their brand and investor relationships while leveraging Netcapital’s SEC-registered funding portal, FINRA member broker-dealer, and technology stack to power their offerings. The Company expects to enhance its support for issuers through managed marketing campaigns, offering page content and creative support, investor webinars, and improved investor data and analytics tools.
“Entrepreneurs want more than a platform to host an offering,” Violette added. “They want a partner that can help them tell their story, reach the right investors, and understand what is working in real time. By combining our regulated capital formation infrastructure with a broader set of services, we believe we can help issuers raise capital more effectively while building stronger, long-term investor relationships.”
Netcapital believes this strategic focus can support long-term shareholder value by broadening its issuer pipeline, increasing platform engagement, and creating additional revenue opportunities associated with higher-value service offerings. The Company expects to provide further updates on specific product and service enhancements as they are developed and launched.
